During his tenure, he played a significant role in transforming the Company from a small, $30 million company to an international business with annual revenues and a market cap that exceed $500 million today. He built up the balance sheet, focused on margins, empowered employees throughout the organization and returned to shareholders approximately $175 million in dividends and $75 million in share repurchases. In addition, Rainer was instrumental in the evolution of Argan with the transformative acquisition of Gemma Power Systems in 2006. The Board is sincerely grateful to Rainer for his dedication to Argan and positive impact on shareholder value. We are all thankful that he has agreed to continue serving as a member of the Board.&#8221;</font></p><p style="font-family:'Times New Roman','Times','serif';font-size:10pt;padding-bottom:8pt;text-align:justify;background:#ffffff;margin:0pt;"><font style="font-size:12pt;white-space:pre-wrap;"> </font><font style="font-size:12pt;">&#8220;David has worked closely with me as Chief Financial Officer (&#8220;CFO&#8221;) of Argan for almost seven years and the transition should be seamless,&#8221; said Mr. Bosselmann. &#8220;He has a deep understanding of our businesses, good rapport with investors and a strong track record of leadership and execution.&#8221; </font></p><p style="font-family:'Times New Roman','Times','serif';font-size:10pt;padding-bottom:8pt;text-align:justify;background:#ffffff;margin:0pt;"><font style="font-size:12pt;">&#8220;I want to thank Rainer and the Board for their confidence in me as I step into this role,&#8221; said Mr. Watson. &#8220;These are big shoes to fill and I pledge to work tirelessly with all of our employees to build on past successes and to lead the Company into its future.&#8221; </font></p><p style="font-family:'Times New Roman','Times','serif';font-size:10pt;padding-bottom:8pt;text-align:justify;background:#ffffff;margin:0pt;"><font style="font-size:12pt;">With Mr. Watson taking on the President and CEO position, long time Corporate Controller, Richard H.
